Programmatically Setting Environment Variables for TcServer [message #1083280]

I am writing a plugin to automatically setup TcServer (Tomcat) server instances in Eclipse. I have a requirement to add Environment variables programatically. It looks like the Environment variables are stored in launch files which I can edit through the DebugPlugin if they already exist. My problem is that the .launch files are not created until I double click on the server. Is there a way to programmatically do the same thing that the double click on the server does so I can generate that .launch file creation.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

The code behind the Open Launch Configuration link on the server editor
page is able to programmatically create one if it doesn't already exist.

Thanks Larry.

Do you know where I can find the code that opens the launch configuration page?

It's probably in the org.eclipse.wst.server.ui plug-in. You could try
searching for the string "Open launch configuration" and start following
the trail from there.
